I would like to raise three specific issues. The targeted agricultural modernisation scheme for young farmers was announced this week under the CAP deal. When will the 40% scheme for other farmers be announced? I have been contacted by dairy farmers who want to get the work done in the next couple of months in the interests of meeting the specifications for Bord Bia inspections. Do we have any timeframe as to when it will be announced?
